Can you dig it?
____ ___
By Schann Nelson
Don’t worry I’m not going away - I’m just
too busy to sit at my computer and write
about the garden when I can finally get out
side and work. I have flats and flats of
beautiful plants from the WGS sale
(Thanks, Kathi), brassicas inside that need
to go outside, and tomatoes to pot up into
4” pots and put under lights for a couple
weeks. AND it’s time to plant most of the
seeds that I want to put in this year, though
it may still be a little early for corn and cu
cumbers unless you have a great southern exposure. It’s really
hard to tell though. You have to know your own microclimate and
be prepared to rush outside and cover tender plants. I was right
about the nasturtiums though, nearly all of them
came up!
I have to tell you about the
salad green I discovered this
year. The top 2 - 3” of pea vines
is crunchy and yummy raw in
salads and is supposed to be
good stir-fried. I’m hoping that
an added benefit is that the vines
will branch and make more peas.
Time to go play in the dirt. Get outside and plant stuff, put the
houseplants out for vacation, and enjoy the weather. Next month:
this year’s solanaceae trials.
